In general, it would depend on the specific licence and the jurisdiction. The licensor can demand that the final product using the library can only be distributed while there is an active subscription in place (which is not the case here with PySimpleGUI).
They may even say that the end users only have the licence as long as someone is paying a subscription. There are cases where that might make sense. For example, if the library is relying some online/cloud service operated by the licensor or their agent, and it costs them money to keep it running.

I wouldn't call that product a "library". In that case the product is the service and the library is just the means to access it (unless X provides the service and Y provides the library, but that's a niche case). The problem is pure software libraries.
